Question which chiller?

Hey newbie here, just set up 90g tank 125lbs LR. The temp is at 80
with no lights on. Tried fans no real halp. I need to know which chiller to buy. The lighting set up is a PFO twin 175watt MH with PC Antinic.
I also have a 20 gal sump located in basment, so room is no problem

On a 90 gallon, you can get away with a 1/10 hp chiller or move up to a 1/6 hp chiller.
Checkout Pacific Coast Imports on their chillers or the JBJ's for these smaller sizes.

I would go bigger if possible. It keeps cycle times down.

are there any chillers with waterproof housing that you can keep outside [for noise reasons?]
